Sixth rotation – Site visit summary

During my site visits, I presented three H&Ps that ranged from patients that came in for a variety of reasons. The site evaluator, Sajid, was very helpful and interested in the cases and gave useful advice in how to make my presentations better and stronger. With his strong background in emergency medicine this advice was very helpful.

The evaluations  in general were very helpful as it helped me identify pertinent information to include when focusing on particular differential diagnoses versus others. This was especially true when we were discussing the HPI.  Even during the review of the pharm card was very helpful in making sure that we knew the main side effects of the drugs. Sajid also gave some great advice and anecdotes. I believe that the final site evaluation was very informative as well. Osman also helped make the evaluations more educational by asking about certain disease processes and drugs that are used to treat or manage them. Overall, I found the evaluations to be very educational and helpful as a developing student.
